old_s13 is an unknown quantity at this point
$800 is a lot of money, but I guess it is somewhat worth it if you are INSANE about your s14 and really like the 95-96 front-end. Personally, I've always liked the 97-98 front end more. Not only does it look better (my opinion), but the USDM headlamps (which are easily avail) are made of glass with projectors. The newer headlamps are also better units in terms of upgradability.

For those who dont want to change front ends, the 95-96 still has potential.. it is just harder to get a super clean finished product since the headlight design isnt as easy to work with. The plastic housing doesnt help its appearance, but if polished and *maintained*, it will still look good.

Personally, I wouldnt touch the imported headlights mostly because they are expensive and very difficult to replace if damaged. I would rather spend that money on upgrading a set of either USDM headlamps with projectors/HID. I just finished upgrading an R32 Skyline, the conversion came out super clean.. full LED and HID. Expensive, but nice.
